SCORE-SHEET.

' Patented Mar. id, 1916.

Application filed May 15, 1914. Serial No. 838,645.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD BANKS, of Wilmington, in the county of New Castle, and in the State of Delaware, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Score-Sheets, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates'to score sheets, and has for its object to provide a score sheet embodying new and useful improvementsand advantages, by which the totals and all necessary data are contained within a readily accessible place irrespective of the number of targets or shots to be totaled, from which said totals and data may be transferred to the permanent records with facility and accuracy, and which may be folded into small compass without hiding said totals or said data.

Although the embodiment chosen to illustrate my invention shows its adaptation to score sheets for use at trapshooting tournaments, it is not limited thereto, and may be applied in any connection where its advantages will be of utility.

Other and further objects of my invention will be apparent from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, in which, I

Figure 1 represents a score sheet open, with one line of a ten-target shoot filled in to show its application; and Fig. 2 represents a score sheet folded with the totals and other data accessible for transfer to the records.

Score sheets necessarily are long and unwieldly in order to provide space for a large number of individual targets or shots, rang ing generally from ten to twenty-five. The name of the contestant in score sheets at present in use is placed at the left, with the N ext are the columns for the result of each shotby a contestant, indicated at D. It is obvious that columns B and C could be interchanged or columns A, B, and C could be interchanged and still retain the advantages of the invention. The total score of each contestant therefore is adjacent his name, which renders it easy to transfer the total to the permanent records, and the score sheet is adapted to record either ten, fifteen, twenty or twenty-five targets or shots without any rearrangement of the total column.

Score sheets always are brought in from the field folded as shown in Fig. 2, and within the same aliquot portion of the score sheet, preferably within the first fold and at the top of the sheet, is provided space for all additional data such as the number of the event, indicated at E; the number of targets to be shot at, indicated at F the number of the squad, indicated at G; and the number of the trap or set of traps if more than one is used, indicated at H. The data on these sheets is transferred to permanent records by the cashier and by the record keeper, and it will be seen that with my invention it is unnecessary to unfold the sheets for this transfer to take place. Not only is space economized in the cashiers and record keepers ofiice, but all the data on the score sheet is placed together, where it can be transferred accurately and without danger of mistake.

Having described one embodiment of my invention what I claim is:

1. A score sheet having columns suitably designated and in the following order beginning at the left, a column for the number of the contestant, a column for the total score of each contestant, a column for the name of each contestant, columns for the individual targets or shots of each contestant, and suitably designated places within the first quarter of said sheet and above said columns for all other data necessary or incident to said score sheet.

2. A score sheet having columns suitably designated for the name of each contestant and for the total score, suitably designated places for all other necessary data, all arranged within the same quarter of the score sheet, and columns for the result of each target or shot.

3. A score sheet adapted to be folded and having adjacent columns suitably designated "-recordin-g scores'*and to' be folded aft i' 'iisef" Heet When folded, and' columns *fo'F-the iesult of each target or shot.
